PARIS — Louis Vuitton says it was unaware of new accusations that Michael Jackson sexually abused children when it paid homage to the singer at its latest menswear show.

Vuitton CEO Michael Burke said in a statement that the allegations against Jackson in a recent HBO documentary are “deeply troubling.”

Designer Virgil Abloh said in the statement that the January menswear show was meant to celebrate Jackson’s legacy, and he condemned “any form of child abuse.” The statement was obtained Friday by The Associated Press.

Abloh’s show celebrated Jackson with an elaborate set and designs evoking the singer’s world and style — set to a soundtrack of his music.

In the documentary “Leaving Neverland,” two men allege Jackson sexually abused them as children. Before his 2009 death, the singer denied repeated, similar allegations against him.

Paris Fashion Week resumed Tuesday, March 5, 2019, with a moving send-off for Chanel's late creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, as the French fashion house showed his final collection. The show exuded a winter village vibe, complete with a ski chalet backdrop. FRANCOIS GUILLOT, AFP/Getty Images

Louis Vuitton also updated the telogreika, a quilted jacket worn by Soviet soldiers in World War II and North Koreans a decade later. Designer Nicolas Ghesquiere and his team used floral fabric for the bodice alongside the traditional earth-toned sleeves, cinched it at the waist and paired it with a zippered skirt.

You could definitely see the '80s influence in this sequined Louis Vuitton shirtdress, cinched with a wide studded belt. And if the skinny tie didn't give it away, the Max Headroom-style rectangular sunglasses drove the point home. Julien de Rosa, EPA-EFE

Capes aren't going anywhere if Miu Miu has anything to say about it. This one featured the silhouette of a traditional wool coat with wide lapels. The label also featured thigh-high stockings, which were seen at Lanvin's comeback show last week. Pascal Le Segretain, Getty Images

Alexander McQueen leaned into the punk aesthetic during the British label's show on March 4. It's unlikely we'll see many of these looks on McQueen's royal devotee, Duchess Kate. FRANCOIS GUILLOT, AFP/Getty Images

The writing was on the skirt – not the wall – at Lanvin's show. A scarlet-and-gold tapestry worthy of House Lannister served as skirting under a 15th-century-inspired black bodice. PHILIPPE LOPEZ, AFP/Getty Images

Another nod to to centuries-old fashion: These two-tone Lanvin boots recalled the over-the-knee stockings worn during the 18th century that were held in place by ribbons. They were layered under a suede-and-shearling coat and silk shirtdress. PHILIPPE LOPEZ, AFP/Getty Images

For a moment, we thought Lanvin might be taking the historic references too far by making it look like this model was covered in leeches. But on closer inspection, they turned out to be foxes embroidered on the mesh sleeves and collar. Carry on! PHILIPPE LOPEZ, AFP/Getty Images

Lanvin combined lots of textures in the same look, such as this one, which layered a green wool coat over a glittery aqua shirt and rust-colored cropped pants with a floral fabric flowing out from the hem. PHILIPPE LOPEZ, AFP/Getty Images

Goodbye, cold shoulders. Hello, cold elbows: Mugler shifted sleeve cutouts, popular over the last several years, to the bicep, making this animal-print top look like it had short sleeves and arm warmers. THOMAS SAMSON, AFP/Getty Images

Like Saint Laurent the day before, neon purple showed up on the Mugler runway in the form of over-the-knee boots held in place by garters under a multi-colored leather minidress. THOMAS SAMSON, AFP/Getty Images
